Why Gloves

Jim Maciel - FLAG President

I love the visual part of the gloves; especially to see them worn as
part of a hot uniform or full leather attire. The dominating look to them
(at least for me, others think gloves are more passive) show strength
to me. Then there is the sensual appeal: to be touched by someone wearing
gloves, held by them, even held down by them. My FAVORITE thing is to
have my mouth covered by a gloved hand! I also find gloves very intimate;
for example having someone wearing a pair and holding hands with me, or
them sleeping next to me with a pair on holding me. These are my most intimate and personal thoughts on gloves. I really do prefer to have
someone wearing them, than to wear them myself. That's my fetish in a
nutshell.

One reason that many of us got into leather was the feel. We liked the
way it felt against our skin when we wore leather, but we also liked being
touched by leather. And the easiest way to touch with leather is when
it's on our fingers. Hence gloves. What could be better than feeling smooth
leather wrapped tightly around our fingers gently caressing another man's
bare flesh? Sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it.

Gloves denote either something very specific to someone or not much of
anything at all. I am on the very specific side of that. There are so
many specific things that it is hard for me to articulate them all and
the big hard on is that I keep discovering more and more all the time.

Initially the look

My most favorite look is a short glove(copglove) on the end of a bare
(or tank top, sleeveless shirt, vest) muscular arm. Just that tight leather
covering sort of where it's not "supposed" to be. This says to me this man is more about the glove than what gloves were invented to
do: protect the hand. Socially more acceptable is a gloved hand poking out from the cuff of a winter jacket. That look isn't a bad thing, I like
it too.

I also like the look of my gloves on the handle bars of my motorcycle
and that biker wave we all give each other is always best coming from
another glove. I like the look on the steering wheel as well.

The feel

The feel of a tight glove on your hand, just like tight leather on the
body is both very erotic and very empowering to me. The feel of the
leather hits my textural senses, smooth, soft, warming to the skin.

Empowering in the fact that you are covering your hand (body) with an
animal's hide, a soft armor. It protects you, thus giving you more power.

Also the feel of a gloved hand touching my body, many of the same sensations
but with the mix of someone else's power and erotic energy. Double your
pleasure.

Sexually

Gloved hands over the nose and mouth for breath control. Add my mouth
to his combined with the gloves creates a very intense, very intimate
sexual experience. Breath is life and sharing and controlling it thru
gloved hands...WOOF. Nothing creates a prettier picture than a rock hard
penis clenched by a gloved hand. Cock and ball play with leather straps
and gloves is also a favorite of mine. The combination of lighting and
smoking cigars with gloved hands sets my mood immediately. It puts me
right into that aggressive, take-no-shit attitude, my favorite place to
be.

Well, those are a few of the gloved feelings I had today..I'm sure if
you ask this question again in a few months I'll have more to add.

Because they feel good on my fingers.

Because they add a nice edge to finger sucking.

Because they help me hold onto my floggers (and contrast nicely with
the silver metal handles)

Because gloves are safer and sexier (latex/nitrile)

Because every good girl and boy needs accessories

Because it protects your hands during that great spanking that you
don't want to stop because your hands are as red as their ass...
